This Foundation has done, for many years, remarkable and unique work via a ‘Pick Me Up’ service which began back in 1998 and has grown from humble beginnings of 400 trips a year to now over 11,500! These are people who, without the Foundation, would be virtually abandoned. They are elderly people who have no way of getting to a doctor’s appointment. They are veterans of several theatres of war who have no one to get them to essential services that they regularly seek. The ‘Pick Me Up’ service provides extraordinary and unprecedented support for such worthy yet needy people in our community. The mission of the Foundation is very straightforward: ‘To provide needy Australians and their carers with the transport and financial support necessary to maintain and enhance their quality of life’. But what impresses me about the work of the Foundation is the nature of the work and the way it is carried out. The key is to treat these people with respect, patience, courtesy and dignity at a time in their life when all those qualities are often denied them. The Foundation also seeks to secure the independence of such people, to enable them to remain within their home and local community but benefit from services that local networks can bring. On behalf of the Foundations Committee a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your support. Without you we would not be able to provide such a fantastic FREE service and help so many people improve their overall quality of life. With personal best wishes Alan Jones AO, Patron 2 SIR RODEN & LADY CUTLER FOUNDATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 3 SIR RODEN & LADY CUTLER FOUNDATION | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIR’S George Pereira MESSAGE Chairman Welcome to the Foundation’s 2018 Annual report.

Each one of those trips a great deal about us and where we are heading could only be achieved because someone decided as a society.

  • Annual Report
    Annual Report 2016/17 Safety, Hope & Opportunity For All Young Australians 1 Annual Report 2016/17 Message From Our Chairman It is more than a quarter century since Sir David Martin passed away. Whilst Australia has changed much in that time, the impetus for Mike Crowley him to establish a Foundation has not. David Martin had a vision of “an Australian community where children can grow up in safety, and with hope and opportunity.” He knew that for many young people that involved helping them get off drugs and off the streets, helping them address complex mental health problems and building healthy, happy and productive lives. His Foundation exists to support the most challenged young people that want to change. In partnership with Mission Australia and generous supporters, the Foundation raises money for effective programs for young people with complex problems. In recent years, ice use has become the dominant theme of addiction – the ‘primary drug of concern’ as it is referred to at Triple Care Farm. With increased ice use has come heightened levels of psychosis, suicidal ideation and criminal behaviours. These are serious problems for young people to address at the Farm. Whilst patterns of drug use change, as do the issues they give rise to, the Foundation’s role does not. We galvanise community support and channel it into programs that genuinely transform the lives of young people by treating them as individuals and helping them create sustainable changes in their lives. And we continue to strive to help more young people in ever more significant ways.

    AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW RECEPTION Tuesday 26th February 2019 His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d), Governor of New South Wales, and Mrs Linda Hurley The Honourable Martin Pakula MP, Minister for Racing, Minister for Jobs, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, representing the Premier Members of the Diplomatic Corps Air Marshal Leo Davies AO CSC, Chief of Air Force and Mrs Rhonda Davies and all the distinguished members of the Australian and other Defence Forces Air Marshal Geoff Shepherd AO (Rtd), Airshow Convenor All distinguished guests First, I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land upon which we are gathering and pay my respects to their Elders past and present and to any Elders here with us this evening. Tony and I are delighted to welcome you all to Government House to mark the start of this year’s Australian International Airshow, with a particularly warm welcome to the very many of you who have travelled from interstate and overseas. May I single out two particular visitors from interstate. It is a pleasure for us to welcome His Excellency, Governor Hurley and Mrs Hurley. I am pleased for this opportunity to congratulate them on the wonderful contribution they have made to the State of New South Wales, and to congratulate them too as they soon enough embark upon the Governor-General role in Canberra. 1 Some of you might be aware that, occasionally, there has been friendly rivalry between Victoria and New South Wales. When I say ‘occasionally’, I really mean pretty much consistently across some 150 years, but I do emphasise the ‘friendly’ part of the rivalry! And so I am confident that, this evening, His Excellency will forgive the Governor of Victoria for talking with great pride about Victoria’s hosting of the 2019 Australian International Airshow, being held in Avalon for the 14th time across what is now heading towards three decades.

  • Chairperson's Report for ASSMB AGM 2017
    Chairperson’s Report for ASSMB AGM 2017 Thank you for the opportunity to be your Chairperson for the last twelve months and it is in this capacity that I present my report for the 2017 AGM of the Australian Standing Stones Management Board (ASSMB). Building on a number of significant accomplishments in the previous year, the ASSMB has continued to achieve milestones during our 2016 – 17 year. I would like to highlight some particular events during the past twelve months that are worthy of special mention. Firstly, is the very significant project of the installation of permanent flag poles along the roadside near the new information sign. These flagpoles have created a magnificent welcoming avenue to the Stones and are a fitting way to celebrate and acknowledge the 25th anniversary of the inauguration of the Standing Stones. These 11 poles fly our national and state flags alongside the flags of the Celtic nations acknowledged here in Glen Innes. It was a great pleasure to be able to welcome the Honourable Adam Marshall, Minister for Tourism and Member for Northern Tablelands to be a part of this event and I note that the Minister for Tourism in 1992, Michael Yablsey was at the inauguration ceremony. Special events were held to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the raising of the first stone in 1991 and the inauguration of the complete array in 1992. The first stone to be erected was named the Alexander Stone, in honour of Peter Alexander from the Celtic Council of Australia and was the centre piece for our function.

  • Safety, Hope & Opportunity for All
    www.sdmf.org.au Sir David Martin Foundation Since 1990 Annual Report 2017/18 Safety, Hope & Opportunity For All Young Australians Message From Our Chairman 28 years have passed since our Foundation was established, and each year - with your help, we strive to keep Sir David Martin’s vision alive. A community where children “can grow in safety, and with hope and opportunity.” Our commitment to the Triple Care Farm program has never been stronger and our funding has grown with the establishment of the withdrawal program – David Martin Place. Mike Crowley Triple Care Farm’s (TCF’s) 2016 intake presented some new and challenging treatment obstacles for the rehab service. Rates of methamphetamines (Ice) as a primary drug of concern continued to rise in 2016. Methamphetamine use has significant long-term effects including: anxiety, violent behaviour, paranoia and hallucinations according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Accordingly, treatment often required a focus on teaching young people to trust, to control their aggressive impulses and to understand their sometimes frightening hallucinations. Rates of young people reporting a co-existing mental health disorder has also increased considerably - particularly in the last four years. Mental health presentations can pose further barriers to recovery for young people and TCF has responded with treatment modifications and appropriate training initiatives. Finding stable housing is a constant struggle for young people leaving rehab. On intake, 24% of young people were homeless or in unstable accommodation and 46% had reported a history of homelessness. On placement 83% of young people had found stable accommodation immediately after leaving the program.
